WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Vai Steve - Jibboom Tabs | Ver. 1
:JIBBOOM:
*Written,recored and performed by the guitar genius Mr. Steve Vai*
My name is Tom Brown, im 14 years old guitarist from England and a huge Vai fan.
I love this song (and "The Ultra Zone" album in general) and was really p**sed off
that no one had transcribed it and either released the official book or put it on
the web. So I took the liberty to do it myself, I do not normally publish tabs on
the web as I think they are a cheats way to play music, BUT when there is no way
of putting proper notation on the web (that i know of) I guess tabs are the only
way.
This will probably not be the whole song, just a taster so you can get your fingers
flowwing around the mystical jungle creature that is "Jibboom"!!! It might have
some misatakes as I did it quickyly but if you do use this tab and enjoy it e-mail
me so that I know it!!
So get the KY jelly out on the neck of that guitar, cause this song neck wanks like
hell!!
*Note: Steve more than likely used "Evo", and his new Carvin Stack on this, with
no effects, so just plug your guitar into a wah-wah, and then into the amp with a
touch of reverb get a nice sustaining sound but don't let it get fizzy, its gotta
sustain but sound natural*
Bearing that in mind lets "Just GO for it!!!" (exit Pia he he)
